Seriously, this is in my Top5 favorite Breakfast/Brunch choice of all time. Who can resist these soft, spongy Hoppers? No Sireee! Not me for sure. These Hoppers or Spongy Rice Pancakes are quite popular and largely prevalent in South Indian households. I love to have this with sweetened coconut milk and tomato chutney. What about you? If you haven't had this before, you don't know what you are missing. Just head over to a South Indian restaurant for a taste of heaven. The texture is similar to that of Ethiopian Injera. Yum!

Ingredients:

Raw Rice - 2 cups, soaked for 4 hours

Cooked Rice - a handful

Grated Coconut - a handful

Dry Yeast - 1/2 tsp

Sugar - 1/2 tsp

Warm water

For the Coconut Milk:

Grated coconut from 1 mature coconut

Warm water or Skimmed Milk - 2 cups

Sugar - 2 tbsp

Tool:

Wok, preferably non-stick

Procedure:

Wash and grind the raw rice, grated coconut and cooked rice to a smooth paste with very less water.

In a bowl, add 2 tbsp of warm water and add the sugar and yeast.

Add this yeast mixture to the ground paste and let it ferment overnight.

Prepare the batter to a pour-able consistency(Batter should be thicker than crepe-batter).

Pour a ladle-full of batter to the wok and swirl it so that the batter coats the side of the pan and the center is spongy.

Close the lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on a medium flame.Repeat the same with the remaining batter.

The point of giving awards, besides appreciation is to know and be known by other bloggers who share the same passion,right? So I would like to share this award with bloggers who I just have come to know and have come to like what they post
